Microsoft's Answer to LittleBigPlanet

"Kodu (originally named Boku); an upcoming Xbox Live Community game will allow anyone to build their own personal playground with ease. Ever since it was announced, people have compared it to Sony's big hit LittleBigPlanet. They both are platformers and seem to have similar characteristics but the question is; will Kodu be Microsoft's answer to LittleBigPlanet?"

Not like LBP at all, and it looks pretty boring actually.

Also, its incredibly cOLD outside.

*Sigh*... Not this Again

LBP is an Level Editor

Boku (Now Kodu) is an Game Maker/Editor And it's Announcement was around the same time if not before LBP back in March, 2007.

That's what m$ has to compete with LBP wow that sucks they need to go back to the drawing boards and think of something else at least it's free

How many times must we do this?

It is not a game.

It is a PL for making games.

It is based on a research project aimed at young children.

It has been in development since before LBP was announced.

..looks...fun :?

and lol @ at the video...."Actual 12 year old girl " LOL :lol:

that looked pretty boring. "The point of this game made i to bring the rocks he makes to the house, and whoever brings 40 rocks first wins." Woo hoo?Sully28

Also, this was in development well over a year before lbp was even announced. There were articles posted a long time ago when this was named boku.

The Answer...

Yes MS. YES!

lol whats up with naming it after fake japanese words:

boku = me (masculine)

kodu = white people trying to japanizing "code" which is already in japanese as "ko-do"

You've pretty much missed the entire point of the software. You create your own games with it. It's lbp taken to a whole new level.

Yes a whole new level... for 12 year old children.:lol:

Have fun with that one buddy.

It's like a weekly ritual or something this.

1, it was announced befor LBP.

2, It's nothing like LBP.

3, It's nothing like LBP.Stoner-Pimp

Lol you had to say that twice. Sadly, saying it twice still wouldn't get it into their minds that this is NOT a LBP clone.

OMG BORING. Honestly, I almost fell asleep just watching that...and I didn't even know what the hell she was doing half of the time. Looks pretty damn complicated to open and close a pathetic blob-like factory.

LBP FTW

Have you even played LittleBigPlanet?

Anyways, I just watched that video... Looked incredibly boring, and I don't see how anyone could name it as MS's answer to LBP. This wont do crap to LBP.

This is getting ridiculous, all Sony and Microsoft do is copy eachother. I can't see this as healthy competition. Just 2 greedy companys going at it. Bringing nothing new to the table.Dahaka-UK

what's funny is that kodu was actually announced before LBP

not to mention that LBP was created by ex-lionhead devs.... so if we want to start with conspiracy theories here :P

It is not a game. It is a PL to make games. Try actually listening to your own link. The first 30 secs covers it all.

Your first clue might be the logo... Kudo: Game Creator

This was announced before LBP, so if we go by the fanboy logic, LBP copied this :oEndorphinMaster

it's even funnier when you learn that LBP was created by ex-lionhead devs

I wonder how many people realise games like this dont sell well because the average gamer doesn't have the patience to sit down with these games and realy get to grips with the actual mechanics let alone be creative, LBP is case and point. occasionaly there is a small diamond that filters through but the rest is a whole mess of coal.sonny2dap

Well it would be kinda hard to sell this, because IIRC this will be free.

EDIT

You know there are more languages in the worlds besides English and Japanese. Kodu is also a word in Estonian, meaning home.
